Well on a hot day here my 3770k will idle at around 30C maybe a little higher. I have been in the BIOS and the temperature has been 10 to 15C higher.
I don't think you have anything to worry about right now.

I also find temps will drop a few more C as the thermal paste cures.

Wait til you get windows and see your temps before you even think about worrying.

EDIT----
I've realized that my one of stock CPU fan's black pins is not completely all the way through. I've tried to push it in, but it's as far as it can go. I've pulled back on the fan to see if it could wiggle loose, but it's firmly in there.
Just wanted you to know

BTW you don't have to get the H100 lol there are plenty of Closed loop and air coolers out there

In your case i would go with closed water best results Temps vary in the ambient temps of the room cooler the room the better chance it will be cooler as well also need plenty of case ventilation so the PC has constant air flow that is the best way to reduce temps

There are a variety of loops out right now under $100.00 if you are near a Microcenter or Frys that would be the best bet Microcenter has better deals though

i7 4770K Running 49-52 deg Celsius on BIOS?

HP Pavilion dm1 Notebook PC getting up to 85 degrees celsiusHey all, I have had my laptop for maybe three years now. The temperatures never really bothered me up until a few months ago. They tend to get up to 62 degrees celsius (both cores) while watching YouTube and internet browsing, but up to 85 degrees celsius while gaming. I have heard of using a cool...

General Discussion

i5-4670K or i7-4770K?I'm working on making a good gaming PC, and I stumbled upon this.
I can't decide on which CPU to get: the i5-4670K or the i7-4770K. The i5 is much cheaper and does what I want to do now, but I want my computer to be very future-proof like this 2006 supercomputer I'm using right now.
Is it...

PC Custom Builds and Overclocking

C1E,C3,C6/7 BSODs with new 4770kHey guys,
Just got a Z87x-UD3H and a 4770k and I am having a lot of problems with C1E,C3,C6/7.
EIST is working fine, but having ANY of the above enabled causes random BSODs (1e,3b,d1,0a,50,24,19) the windows desktop manager to crash, and rarely the video driver.
If ALL of the options are...

CPU temp of 94 Degrees Celsius!Hi folks,
I got a bit of a shock when I just opened Speccy to see how my graphics cards were going, because they (2x) generally run on the "warm" side (one at around 60C and the other around 80C) ... which, even though this PC was built "professionally" and has quite a number of fans ... is quite...

Performance & Maintenance

CPU Temperature 100 celsius!!!???!!Very recently I started to here some weird noise coming from my computer, and then my 2.80ghz processor dropped to 2.66 and again to 2.13.
I knew something was wrong when I saw my temperature at boot was 70 celsius, and it was rising to 80 in about 20 seconds! And rising to 100 in 2 minutes

Hardware & Devices

XFX HD5850 Running XFX HD5870 Bios!Just wanted to share this as anybody with the same card might want to try it. Got bored of manually overclocking my XFX HD 5850, wanted a permanent stable overclock. I flashed to the XFX HD5870 bios and it works perfect! Low temps and a massive jump in performance! Crysis runs about 10 fps faster...
